One business trip about a year ago to Kiev. In January. Thanks to global warming it was too warm and now snow but still unpleasant wet, cold and grey. There are places on earth you immediately like when you first step out of the airport. There are place that grow to you. And there are places that are just unpleasant and stay so. To me the Ukraine is such a place. Continue reading

Some business trips are different. Most of the times a business trip means that you go somewhere where you have been already before a couple of times. Most of the times it is a place that is not even remotely of any interest. And if it’s winter it is very likely cold, grey and wet.
